I lost posted on the 19th? And it’s the 26th? I guess this isn’t as bad as I thought. Papa and I enjoyed the Charlotte (Michigan) Bluegrass Festival at the end of last week. It as a good show and and killer lineup. I felt optimistic about Bluegrass in Michigan when the Grascals closed the …

There has been some discussion recently about the instruments played by the US Navy Band, Country Current — Bluegrass Unit. We saw them in May, 2004 and I posted a couple of photographs. They aren’t the best, but they do show the instruments played by the group. (Yes, that’s Roy Lewis).

This is a real problem, I have some shopping to do, and my list is not in my purse. Really, it’s nowhere that I can see. I have my “to do” list, it’s right on my desk. But, the shopping list traveled with me yesterday, and is now MIA. Whenever I can’t find something, I remember …
